Course Description

• Learn and practice guiding a team through conflict resolution.

• Learn and practice the different coaching stances (coach, mentor, teacher) and be able to choose the most appropriate stance for the problem at hand.

 

​You will then put all these skills together, to assess the needs of a team, form an effective coaching plan, work with management for buy-in, kickoff coaching with the team, and learn to effectively use different what you’ve learned about stances, human dynamics, collaboration, and conflict resolution to become a more effective coach
